We are currently clearing out our in-stock sterling silver poesy rings, preparing for a time when we will not carry these rings in sterling silver. We regret to inform you that since the gold and platinum side of our business has grown so much, we are not able to do justice to our silver clients anymore.
If you ordered our sizer expecting to order a particular ring and size that you no longer find here, please call me (Mandira) directly at 1-866-573-7381 or contact me by email at Contact Us on the left navigation bar. I will order your ring for you at 10% off full price.
Thank you for your understanding.
In 16th and 17th century England or France, a wedding ring would invariably be inscribed with a sentiment of love, faith, and hope: a short love poem or poesy. A sterling silver betrothal ring would often be replaced with the same poesy ring in gold upon marriage.
The popularity of these poesy rings is attested to by their frequent mention in Shakespeare's plays. The tradition is older than Shakespeare's time, but it was during the Renaissance (14th-17th Centuries) that the custom reached the height of popularity.
In-stock sterling silver poesy rings ship within days; made-to-order poesy rings ship in 5-8 weeks.
